I sit here with a mixture of glee and sadness in the wake of the MTV Music Video Awards. For those who bothered to watch, it was a real departure from the explicit language, partial-nudity and simulated sex-acts that have become a staple of MTV programming in recent years. That was the glee.
On the other hand, as a Conservative, I found it extremely distasteful and inappropriate that Alexandra and Vanessa Kerry, daughters of Presidential hopeful John Kerry, were wildly booed last night. To all of my Republican/conservative/libertarian friends out there, shame on you.
I find it unacceptable that we should ever sink to the low levels of decorum exhibited by the political Left. While I also found it inappropriate to have booed Hillary Clinton at a post-9/11 celebration in New York, that reception was at least understandable. Senator Clinton has made some rather inflammatory remarks about both the President and Republicans/Conservatives. It is therefore understandable that she would receive a rather cold welcome in response. But I have yet to hear of the Kerry daughters saying anything that would warrant such a reception. Are they not allowed to support their father? We generally consider Ron Reagan an embarrassment for his father so do we expect the Kerry daughters to be John Kerry’s “Ron Reagan?”
My friends, I am proud to see that Leftist celebrities and politicians are now being held accountable for the vilification of the Right. It gives me more joy than you could possibly imagine to see the likes of Linda Ronstadt and her ilk publicly shunned. But let’s keep in mind that in voicing our discontent we need not lose the moral high-ground.

To Alexandra and Vanessa Kerry, I apologize on behalf of the entire political Right.
